As some have pointed out, it may not be a gender thing some people are just a******s. This happened earlier in the week and I’m pretty sure it’s just one of those cliquish park moms who can’t mind their own business. Phenerganandpoprocks, MART PRODUCTION Report Probably gonna get some temporary tattoos put on my face for the next time I go to give them something to really have a moral panic over :D The elementary school mom’s in the area have formed their own Mean Girls clique at the park and I think they’re just trying to make me uncomfortable. I would love to feel safe going anywhere alone. I think about hiking solo with such a longing. my boyfriend doesn't get it at all, he thinks I'm being silly. It makes me so sad/angry.Įdit: Holy moly, I didn't expect to wake up to this. Thanks for all the awards and solidarity. I want to add that of course men can and do also feel this way, women don't have the market cornered on the fear of something terrible happening when going out alone. And, where you go is also a huge factor- if you're in a sketchy place, both men and women are going to be nervous, of course. but I've had the fact that I cannot do things solo (no matter where I am) crammed into my head all my life, and when I doubted that fact. I know that if I went on a hike solo, there is a very good chance nothing would happen, however I would not enjoy my time in the woods anyway. The fear of what could happen overshadows any enjoyment I might get. I've taken self defense classes, but even still, I'm the type of person that will "freeze" instead of fight or flee. I don't want a gun either, I don't want that kind of power in my hands or in my house.
